STORYLINE:
At an “Intergenerational Summer Camp” in Fullerton, California, grandmas are in charge.
Every week, they teach a group of 8-to-14-year-olds how to cook a new dish, and a handicraft such as sewing, embroidering, clay jewelry and card marking.
During the last week of camp in July, youths were taught by grandmas and others how to use a sewing machine and make pouches.
The camp is conducted by Olive Community Services, a nonprofit aimed at bringing older adults together.
The kids also learn about kitchen safety and how to cook with a grandma's touch — such as mixing spices with water before adding them to a dish so they don't burn, or using fresh turmeric.
The summer camp was done in partnership with the Golden Connections Club, started by high school student Leena Albinali last year to foster interactions between teens and elders.
